When you find out things about yourself

That you hadn't ought to know

When your grandma calls and books you

on the Jerry Springer Show

And you find out you and your wife of 10 years

Just might be related

Brother, life's not over

It's just simply complicated.



There's other situations that might challenge you I guess

When your daughter tries out for the football team

And your son tries on her dress.

And you start to think that the devil's in charge

Of how you're situated.

Life is still worth living

It's just simply complicated



Life is complicated with its if's and and's and but's

It's alright to be crazy, just don't let it drive you nuts.



My daughter wants to go on dates

I think I'll let her go.

But she better not be moving at the moving picture show.

Or stop by all those conchy tonks and get inebriated

Ain't it all a caution, it's just simply complicated.



Now I'm having a big problem with my present day career

My ship, she has a rudder, but I don't know where to steer.

Am I country, pop, or rock 'n roll

I know they are related

I'll just let you be the judge

It's simply complicated



Life is complicated with its if's and and's and but's

It's alright to be crazy, just don't let it drive you nuts.



Life is complicated

Oh shit!
